I have never had an issue with my Roku Spotify app before. I am running it on multiple Roku devices (a Roku 3 and Roku streaming sticks). As of today, I opened up the app on the Roku streaming stick and there was no playlist option - just "search" and "what's new". All of my playlists have gone. I am able to view them just fine from my phone app. I uninstalled the Roku app and reinstalled but still no playlist option. Help!!! I have tried the same on my Roku 3 and it still does not have an option to view playlists.
Solved! Go to Solution.
To say I am really pissed off is a gross understatement. I have 4 Roku boxes and a big reason I went with Spotify was to use my playlists I created, through those boxes. I'm not going to go buy 4 android boxes, or some other equivalent boxes, to work around this. It looks like Spotify will be losing a lot of customers. And after all the effort I went through to switch from Rdio to Spotify...
I am now having this exact same issue! I don't know what to do!
Me too. I'm about to cancel my Spotify Premium account.
This is mostly how we use Spotify. Without playlists, I am unwilling to pay. Come on guys. I'd rather not cancel, but this isn't worth the money.
And still no playlists and no official response...
What a waste of money.
OK, at least it's not me. I noticed a couple days ago that my playlists are gone via Roku. Fortunately at home I have a Sonos system, and can run them through those speakers. But you're right....what am I paying premium for?
Today I subscribed to Spotify Premium.
I use Roku 3 and 2 sticks with excellent results with Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu plus, Pandora Premium and about 10 other apps. But not the Spotify app. Spotify seems to work well on my iPhones and iPad and PC's. My serious music listening is at home with Roku and a well equipped sound system.
The Spotify Roku app is dated looking, amateurish and does very little. It is obvious that it has not been thought out. It is a completely counterintuitive interface, using little of Roku standard functions. Worst of all it works very poorly, is the only app that for no reason hesitates, buffers etc. Playlists are inaccessible etc. The search function is very clunky and tedious.
This may be a dealbreaker. Although Pandora does not have as much music available, at least it is fully accessible on Roku.
Please confirm that you have something that works properly coming soon, or you might lose another subscriber.
Same here to all of this. Can we at least get a Spotify person to tell us if the Playlists feature is gone for good now or if this is just a glitch?
I stream Spotify on my LG blu-ray player. Roku has been unreliable.
Wow - just wow! I can't believe no progress has been made on this!
SO WACK this roku app is so basic -
PANDORA is doing MUCH better
Playing my music through the roku makes a big difference for my tech set up in my apt, and yes, without a real spotify option through roku, i may just switch back to pandora and/or at least cancel my spotify premium account.
*AND - even when I just try to play certain artists - the option to play ALL their music is GONE - and I have to choose just ONE album at a time.
SO NO GOOD
There's no reason it shouldn't be able to offer all the same things it does via computer.
Not using it anymore
Nobody cares about your LG blu-ray. We are talking about Roku
The only reason I pay for Premium is for my Playlist on Roku. Going to have to cancel.
